chessgames.com: Since this game has cropped up in the discussion we went ahead and inserted Keene's notes, converting them into algebraic notation where necessary. I apologize in advance if I made any errors in the translation of notation.

and then ..rxf3 whichever way white recaptures white is -as far as i can see-toast-can you take the computer line a bit further-do i have some amazing save with two rooks v a queen and knight -what did i miss?

ray keene: <lawrence> theres something wrong with your main line since at the end after 39..kh7 white can now win the black queen with the fork ng5+. however-you have clearly unearthed some amazing defensive possibilities for white in a position which stein and i considered hopelessly lost.this is just one more example that the classics of the past can be completely revised by computer analysis!!

i regard this as an amazing contribution and i will certainly be writing a column about it in the times or the spectator quite soon. well done and thank you very much. the position after black gets q and n for two rooks is the most amazing one-blacks q simply seems to lack space to manouevre yet at first sight it can smash whites k side easily. incredible!!THANK YOU VERY MUCH.YOU HAVE EXPANDED THE BOUNDARIES OF KNOWLEDGE BY EXAMINING THIS.

Lawrence: <Mr. Keene>, right, it must have been the Queen that moved, not the King. Anyway, a long 18-ply line like that is not very trustworthy because after it's played 8 or 10 ply the engine often finds something better than what it predicted.

Seraphina: What a fine game. And with the notes and the kibitzes, it is even more alive. Mr. Keene, it is very exciting to read how you felt during the game. That is an element computers don't seem to be able to bring.... yet. Reminds me, that even though one loses and the other wins at chess, it takes two to make the work of art.
